Game Summary

The year is 2142, and the dawn of a new Ice age has thrown the world into a panic. The year is 2142, and the dawn of a new Ice age has thrown the world into a
panic. The math is simple and brutal: The soil not covered by ice can only feed
a fraction of the Earth's population. Some will live, most will die. In
Battlefield 2142, players will choose to fight for one of two military
superpowers in an epic battle for survival, the European Union or the newly
formed Pan Asian Coalition. Armed with a devastating arsenal of hi-tech assault
rifles, cloaking devices and sentry guns, players will also do battle using some
of the most imposing vehicles known to man. Massive battle Mechs wage fierce
combat on the ground, while futuristic aircraft rule the skies. When facing one
of these new behemoths, players will need to use their wits and an arsenal of
new countermeasures like EMP grenades to level the playing field.
Team play features allow up to 64 players to enter the action on the front
lines as part of a formal squad, or work behind the scenes in Commander Mode to
direct the strategic assaults of their teammates. With in-game success, players
increase their rank and unlock awards, including new weapons, medals and more,
delivering the most comprehensive and flexible persistence in the Battlefield
universe to date.
